Yes, I believe the folks at BlueDot have an FPGA implementation.

One of our C++ devs is currently remote in the Czech Republic, so it is a possibility. Reasonably regular trips to London would be required.

I'm sure I've seen this before, though I'm not sure whether it was on HN.

I was surprised at the number of tech firms in the list (e.g. Adobe, TI, NetApp, Cisco, Juniper) and the jobs that are listed are the engineering and other technical jobs. Reading the comments I wasn't expected any tech firms to be on the l

The author sets self-improvement tasks, which are worth points. Keep track of your score with the provided scorecard. I like the site design, a pity the scorecard didn't benefit from the same style. The goal of the site is to change your mi

Linking to the print version caught me slightly off guard, but otherwise an interesting article. The author appears to be asking for a car manufacturer to build a one-size-fits-all car and make it cheap enough for everyone to be able to aff

The Google sponsored petition to get access to the inter-channnel frequency spectrum. Lots of videos of Google employees explaining the problem.

Just a quick note: in your credits I think you mean to reference people's Trademarks, not Copyrights (you use the (c) instead of (tm))

Interesting implementation, I do like how they've kept the node graph simple. They've made the classic error of forcing you to register before you can play with the application. It's also little cumbersome to add nodes. A better interface m

Kevin Kelly has added photographs to his 1994 book "Out of Control" and made it available as a free PDF download. He's experimenting with contextual ads, displayed alongside the document. They are opt-in, which is cool.

I had two thoughts when reading this: 1) Mythical Man Month... 2) If I was Apple would I have released the SDK with iPhone 1.0? Probably not. iPods became a market leader without a killer (externally developed) app. Why spend the effort to

Governments probably aren't going to get their act together for a while, and when they do they are at least reasonably accountable to the populous. Perhaps if the geoengineering is part of a miltiary, farming or energy offering, but otherwi

A very interesting look at the results of Google Insights. When I have a moment I'll see if I can find public sales/growth figures for a few companies and compare them to their Google Insight results to see whether there is any correlation.

I have yet to see a viable business model for any geoengineering company, but when one does come along it will definitely be Interesting Times.

Hmm, I'm not convinced about the "only build what you are going to use" argument. The best example I can think of is pace-makers (or any other form of life-saving equipment). A manufacturer of these devices cannot be a user, because they'd

There are some interesting numbers in there, but it does seem a little like a plug for one of the author's reports. The message seems to be that when buying a server, consider the running and housing costs when calculating the TCO. Just lik

I assumed that Knol rated highly because they have access to some good SEOs. Who better than Google to optimise your site for a search engine crawler? In terms of Google being a media company, of course they are: advertising == media. Wheth

I was surprised because I believe that a large portion of the excitement of sport is its event nature and viewing a live-event live enhances that experience, improving the Olympic brand. I guess the IOC was willing to compromise the brand f

Lots of possible quotes out of this one. "You and your goal are part of the future. Without its specification you can never know the future. And the more you know yourself and your goal, the more you know the future." "Only when you have fo

I'm surprised the IOC didn't put a requirement for a live broadcast into the contracts with the broadcasters. Putting it out live on a separate channel would probably make sense in terms of segmenting their audience for advertising purposes

Interesting, the article makes me want to write something entitled: "How fundraising is similar to selling a house, and why." (at least in the UK) The timescales, rejection rates, legal layers and lack of trust between the participants seem

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the "low-cost" airlines in this discussion. For example Ryanair are still busy lowering fares, but reclaimming the extra money from all the extras. I think they are doing reasonably well financially. Then

I have always wondered what I should do with this piece of information. Does it mean that every proposal I want to have passed by people should be extremely large and complex? Conversely, if I want to engage people, should is be over someth

Twit has a different meaning in the UK. For a second there I though people needed twits for some nefarious purpose...
